Dede that is fantastic news. You should be so proud of yourself.

Thank you guys, I think having all you guys behind me all the way was a massive help. DH struggled a few times but stayed strong and didn't give in. For me I have found it extremely easy to quit, I have had a few cravings but nothing to bad at all. :)

I've been wondering how you have been getting on, and am so happy to hear that you are smoke free and are reaping the benefits. Your heater looks fabulous and will keep you toasty warm all winter. Personally, I hate being cold, so I love your new purchase.

I know I have disappeared from the forum for awhile, but I have stated strong. Although I have put on weight but I'm not worried about that, I just have to work at getting the extra weight off now I have kicked the smoking habit. :)

One thing at a time Mandi! Giving up smoking is a huge thing, and you lost weight last year before you gave up smoking. You will get there (eventually), just give yourself some time:)

Yes I think your right ES, I'm not to concerned. And there is no way in the world I will be going back to smoking to help with the weight loss :)

That is a major achievement dede. Well done. I have been wondering how you were doing. Haven't seen you around much lately.
Wow saving over $2,000 and it's only April.

It's been a while since I have been on the forum, I have popped in a couple of times and seen how many posts I had to catch up on and realized I needed a longer time to catch up so left again lol. :)

And yes $2000 is a huge amount for such a short amount of time, I have wasted so much money over the years smoking. :(. But no more now :D
